My GPU has been crunching a Perseus Arm Survey work unit for just over 24 hours. Is this expected? Seems a bit long.
Indeed, too long. Your current valid results list has one job listed that took only about 2 h!
One other thing that I noticed in the output of your tasks is this :

This is not normal, and it's not good! I would recommend to update the version of BOINC you are using (the file that the app complains about is written by the BOINC client software).
39+ hours. I aborted the job. I just went through a painful upgrade with changes made to SETI and I am now processing one of their "new" version 7 WUs. It is showing 21 hours to complete. I would like to know how this job is going to process before I start changing out stuff.
My version of BOINC is provided by my Linux distro. Replacing it would not be difficult but I would like to wait until I see how BOINC is going to handle this new SETI WU.
I am not rejecting your suggestion, just putting it on hold for a while.

Something is wrong. Maybe the CPU needs more reserved cores. There is very little time variation in the BRP5 WUs (I've looked back in my results at over 700 and variation is at most a few percent). The slowest SETI v7 GPU WU I've run took just over 30 minutes and that's running 2 WUs concurrently (although I'm no SETI expert :-), most take much less.

I had one that took about 29 hours on a 7970. So as long as it's still making progress I'd say let it run.

Yeah, if you look only at the CPU time used, which means next to nothing in this context.

no, it is real time of running. 10 WUs per for a 30600 seconds, for example.

All my BRP5 work units takes a little
bit more then to 3 hours to complete on my GTX 560 Ti.

So what? That still doesn't change how long each individual task takes to run, as anyone who looks at your hosts results will see.

Yes, that's more typical for Perseus, but there are still the occasional outliers.
